Best Practices

Standard Units: Use standard measurement units, consistent with supplier invoices

Metric vs Imperial: Choose one system primarily, convert when necessary

Specific Units: "Large Eggs (dozen)" better than just "Eggs"

Consistency

Use the same units your suppliers use on invoices. Makes receiving inventory and entering data much faster and more accurate.
